Short-Term TSLA Price Movements - 2013

[kevin99]

Please tell us you were still holding the 70k in calls... maybe a forum record?

That will make the Tezillionaire! I am curious! 100k was my goal but the stock runs so fast before I get close to it.

Is there a name for making $1M in a single day? Tezillionaire?

Well more or less. Between my last post and now I took some off the table, but during the dip today got back in with some more calls. At market close today I was holding the following calls:
TSLA Aug13 200 Call
TSLA Aug13 190 Call
TSLA Sep13 180 Call
TSLA Sep13 170 Call
TSLA Sep13 165 Call
TSLA Aug13 155 Call
TSLA Aug13 85 Put

The value of these all together at market close was $69k.
(BTW the 85 puts is just a small position, accounting for only $3k)

So yeah, I'm happy

I hope they say why they are holding production est at 21K given the VIN's reported already??????
Model S Delivery Update

I guess the hyperloop plans after 2 quarters of profitability was real after all.

And may Kevin's vegas party actually come to fruition??

Yes indeed! Wasn't it fun to have the suspense?? Hey are you pretty close to Vegas!

Fact of the day:

Distance the 5150 reported Tesla Model S’s sold in US in Q2 2013 would stretch if placed end-to-end: 15.93 miles

Can't wait until we get to 100 miles of cars in one quarter!

Wait, are we talking 70k shares equivalent of contracts (700 calls) or $70k worth of position? I was under the impression it will be record holding so I guess the former

Could any of you fine folks provide updates on any interesting points from the conference call?? That would be fantastic!

Also many thanks to all of you for your great insights and contributions here on TMC. I was on the fence on tesla on Friday but after stumbling upon this gold mine I went for it! Up 10% and couldn't be happier!!!

Some funky thing on the web audio. Elon sounds like he's had a hit of helium before speaking.

I'm using the flash version and it sounds fine to me except maybe he just seems to be talking matter-of-factly..
